How To Install Prova Shower System
I've not heard of any failures with the Kerdi stuff. My guess, and it is only that, is that they've chosen to switch to a less expensive source. No experience with ProVaMat. Note, properly installed, a Kerdi install does NOT have weep holes, since the surface membrane is sealed to the drain.no moisture ever gets beneath it. A system that claims to be a surface membrane that requires weep holes is looking at belt and suspenders.they expect their drain to leak.
All of the Kerdi drain covers are square in all available finishes. As with anything, you must follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.installed properly the Schluter system works great.Note, if installed properly, moisture typically wicks at most 1/4'. Since there's supposed to be at least a 2' overlap, moisture never even gets close to leaking beneath the membrane far enough to do anything. I was at a class where they put Kerdi on a cardboard box using thinset. It was in use for months. Filled with ice and drinks in the morning. The box never got wet.

It got floppy because of all of the flexing, but the kerdi never leaked nor did the box get wet after months of use. The stuff works and they have a long track record. Click to expand.Since this question is directly in response to what I said to a customer I will assume I have the right to.respond.As the poster stated here: 'A kerdi install does not have weep holes' he is correct, what he does not understand is that the ProVa Mat system is designed similar to the kerdi, the membrane is adhered to the drain body just as the kerdi adheres to its drain body.The ProVa Drain is not designed to leakLets also clarify.

The weep holes are in the drain cover insert threads. So this tell us they are in the flow point, it will not leak nor is designed to leak.I have been in this trade for almost 30 yrs and I am suprised at the way people offer advice based on a item they have never used, nor attempted to use.This reply is long overdue but I felt when one is offering false facts about a unit they do not understand, then a rebuttal is required.Thank you.

Just did a complete shower redo and had always hated the Oatley round shower drain that was used in the original shower. I had ABS on all drain lines and I ended up getting this:The tile guy liked it, he was used to the round ones.
It was only like 69 dollars for the complete drain and grate. I see now they have stopped selling on their website and you have to buy from a plumbing vendor or plumbing internet site. I never thought about the quality of a drain when I was looking, so not sure how this will hold up. But it seems as good as what I had in the first place.
